项目摘要

African Americans suffer from a disproportionate burden of morbidity and mortality from a wide spectrum of conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and these disparities are not attributable solely to individual socioeconomic status or access to health care. Research has shown that social determinants are key factors in African American health and health disparities. Evidence is mounting for the health impact of neighborhood context, particularly with regard to the food environment. Several studies have documented that African American communities are disproportionately exposed to fast food, and other studies have shown that exposure to fast food is associated with greater risk of obesity and other chronic disease. What have been little studied are the complex historical drivers of racially patterned exposure to fast food. Research is needed to interrogate the forces that moved fast food from its historical origins of middle-class White suburban and rural communities to the predominantly Black central city. The proposed study seeks to advance research on social determinants of health by conducting historical analyses of the racial transformation of fast food in the U.S. from 1955 to 1995, focusing on large cities with large Black populations in the Midwest and Northeast. Drawing on archival resources from a number of collections, I will produce a book that will be of interest to scholars in public health, the social sciences and the humanities. In so doing, the proposed work will make an innovative contribution to understanding what puts African Americans at risk of health risks.

非裔美国人因各种原因而承受着不成比例的发病率和死亡率负担肥胖、糖尿病、心脏病和癌症等疾病，这些差异不能归因于仅取决于个人的社会经济地位或获得医疗保健的机会。研究表明，社会决定因素是非裔美国人健康和健康差异的关键因素。越来越多的证据表明邻里环境对健康的影响，特别是食品环境。多项研究已记录了非裔美国人社区不成比例地接触快餐，以及其他研究研究表明，吃快餐与肥胖和其他慢性疾病的风险增加有关。很少有人研究的是种族模式接触快餐的复杂历史驱动因素。需要进行研究来探究是什么力量使快餐脱离了中产阶级的历史起源白人郊区和农村社区到以黑人为主的中心城市。拟议的研究旨在通过对种族的历史分析来推进健康的社会决定因素的研究 1955年至1995年美国快餐业的转型，重点关注黑人人口众多的大城市在中西部和东北部。我将利用大量馆藏中的档案资源，制作一个公共卫生、社会科学和人文学科的学者将会对这本书感兴趣。这样做，拟议的工作将为理解非洲裔美国人面临风险的原因做出创新贡献健康风险。
